Cancelled. Still On. Cancelled. Still On.


This was the jist of the day yesterday. I was scheduled to meet with the board last night for the 'final reinterview'. I get a call at about 11:30 ish and I asks if I knew that the meeting was cancelled. "No." So I says alright, I'll find out because I just got an email that it's cancelled. I'm literally laughing at this point, because at first I thought he was messing with me. He calls back, it is cancelled, but he needs to find out more. No news for hours. So at first, I'm just laughing about it. Then I start to actually think about and process it. Now I'm getting mad. So I am supposed to meet pastor after the meeting in the city. I call and say let's meet earlier. Throughout the afternoon I prayed a bunch just asking OK, God, what is going on here? Is this not for me? Am I doing something wrong? And I tell Him I know you have power over everything, so if you could, just make this happen today. Don't delay it anymore. You could change this right now if you wanted to. Alright, pastor, meet you in Union Square. Hop the train to the city. Get off. Voice mail. Must be Craig I think, maybe late? Listen to it. I calling me back. The board still wants to meet with me at 5:30. Lucky for me, I still have my suit on, and I'm in the city. Lucky for me, I didn't go home first and change. So I hop a cab to midtown. Meet with the board. From my end, it's a 14 on a scale of 1 to 10. I tell superstar after, if they don't hire me after that, they are just stupid. That's all. Stupid. So I meet with pastor afterwards (see photo). It's a little bit different view than other interviews I've walked out of in the past. Grab a mcdon burger (that was delicious) and head off to the Pig and Whistle for a beer. Delicious. Great conversation on how God continues to stretch us in this city. So today I may find out if I 'gots a job yet' (ty sick pete) or not. Either way, the sun is up, I'm breathing, and life is good.

Your use of "I" in this post made me question myself...thought maybe you learned to speak Brooklynese or something. I finally got "I" stands for a name; right? Anyway, I'm dying over here! Any news yet? Praying for you my brother.

Too, Too, Too Much Fun

Alright. So you're sitting in front of your computer right now. And you're saying to yourself at about 8:00 pm: "Huh. It's been dark out for nearly three and a half hours now. What else can we do for fun?" Well, sir, we have the answer. Take a look at this.

Righteous or Unrighteous?

Today, as I thoroughly enjoyed my walk to the school, I pondered quite a few things, as I often do on my walk. Sometimes I pray for people like Hammy, Jimmer, sick pete, mg, cdubs, pastor, beary, and the like. But today, I simply reveled in the fact that God loves me. As I watched the snow melting away, I could see the dirt and garbage left behind throughout my walk. I think of how God melts away our dirt and our garbage. How he longs to be in relationship with us, and how he cleanses our sins from existence. As the sun rose, I couldn't help but think of the verse I read this morning in Matthew 5:45 - "...that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes the sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous." I pondered if Jesus was walking with me, which of the above categories would HE put me in? I'm pretty sure the unrighteous one at times. But yet he still walks with me and leads my steps. He brings the heat ...

Casa de Kelly - a nice place to dine.

Image
It has been a challenging week for me personally. Struggling with some things personal in nature, nothing that I need to go into, but just working hard to keep my chin up. But encouragement comes to me through others that follow God. Thanks to sick Pete for his encouragement to me this week. Thanks to BK for his prayers and vulnerability. But my biggest thanks goes out to the kkft. After a tough week, I got an email yesterday from superstar saying she was hoping to take me out to dinner for drinks, conversation, and even dessert. But no sitter. So her and the girls were working on 'casa de kelly' restaurant in our apartment. I am almost certain it was the best restaurant I have ever visited in my life. Candlelight, mexican food and latin music, time to sit and chat with my wife, the girls serving us and giving us privacy (even had the taboo buzzer to call them when we needed something :)), it was my best night of the year by far. But perhaps the biggest part of the n...
